Top Ten Pop Song Cliches

ToptenPizza
This is a list of themes/beats/trends in pop songs that happen too much, to the point where it gets a bit irratating.

The Top Ten

1Featured Rapper

One of many things I dislike about rap is how the idea of a song including a rap suddenly makes it appear incredible. It is really anything but. Especially given that any hip-hop influence detracts from the real purpose of music. It turns anything, from a pop song to an electro song, into a meaningless, deceptive, shallow and twisted entity of egotism and inapt worship. No matter whether the original song ever had a chance. If that doesn't disgust people, I don't know what would. - PositronWildhawk

Featured raps almost always ruined perfectly catchy and beautiful songs to me. I'd always find myself looking forward to the choruses or not listening to it at all. - keycha1n

I don't understand how remixing an engaging song with additional rap would make it attractive. That would take a huge load on my brain just to process that - Kiteretsunu

Yes! Can't love songs ever go away? Nope! Love songs are too popular and overrated. All they care about is sexy bodies and big boobs. That's not true love. 99% of all songs on the radio are people saying "baby, I want you" or make weird sex noises. I've noticed that pop songs always have a female moaning. Dude, kids are listening to that!

The Heart Wants What it WantsCall Me MaybeAnything by Justin Beiber or 1 direction.

And the constant reason why they love you is because you look nice. - ToptenPizza

Yes it seems like everyone famous got famous from singing some sort of love song for example here's one love you like a love song by selena gomez

I hear it so much! In all the popular dance songs and stuff, it seems like they just run out of things to say so they go "Raise your hands in the air! /Put your hands up! /Put your hands in the air! /etc" - higgsboson2142

Dynamite

134-Chord Progression

(pop-punk) progression in particular. Axis of Awesome perfectly illustrated this in their "4 note" medley.

I've never really minded 4-Chord Progression, sometimes it works really well - mtndewlord

What is 4-Chord progression, and what's so wrong with it? - BlueTopazIceVanilla

You forgot to mention Taylor Swift. I love how people leave her out because she has a clean image. But in her songs she brags about how many guys she has been with. Don't know how much sluttier it can get.

Ariana Grande... Keep it up and you'll end up just like Miley Cyrus. Once was a "just for kids" actor then later a slutty b*+€h making porn and pictures for men to jerk off too. - Chaotixhero

How is Katy slutty? - AnonymousChick

15Broken Hearts

Me and My Broken Heart by Rixton is a good example.

16Breaking Up

*cough* *cough* Taylor Swift... - ArigatoKawaii

17Booty

Apparently it's all about the butt these days.

Yep. I have a big butt, and I'm not sexy

Why? That is a lame topic.

18Saying "Baby" a Lot

Why is this not on the top 5? or the top 3? obvious reasons why it should be. - Ohno

I'm pretty sure that's every single song since 1970s or something

I feel umcormfortable when pop singers say "Baby"

19"Babeh", Instead of "Baby"

Yes! I'm tired of that crap!

Ariana Grande, honestly..

I don't get it.

20Repeating the Lyrics

It seems like every singer has to repeat their lyrics.

PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME, PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME, WHERE HE AT? WHERE HE AT? WHERE HE AT? WHERE HE AT?

Well you have first verse, second verse, chorus, hookIf you mean repeating the chorus you have no choice - Hanasaki

21Overly Catchy

Yes lol. I currently cannot get Rolex out of my head, and JuJu On That Beat too. - BlueTopazIceVanilla

22Saying Your Name

They say their name because since all pop songs sound the same, they have to let you know who it is. - NickelbackLinkinPark4Eva
